Gee no need to be a [censored] about it

Drawing against the second bottom side? I am seriously concerned. I’m glad we’re still number 1 but we hardly deserve it. We seriously need to rearrange our game plan. Take this as a warning.

Yeah collingwood were eliminated fair and square in the finals twice during their “4-peat”, but unfair rules allowed them a second chance by the right to challenge. If this existed nowadays, Hawthorn could possibly have equalled it in 2016

Been away on vacation, so missed the last two games. Couldn’t believe we lost against GWS. Glad we came back against Port. I hope we win again. I’m getting used to being on top of the ladder

Did see the 88 one once. Can’t find it again. Was at Weg’s world a few years ago. His son-in-law told us if we won one ours will be the one we would have won if we’d won 4 in a row in 1958. Personally I thought the 88 one was the best I’ve ever seen. I must have been like Weg in 1998. I thought that was the year we were going to win it. Even more than 2000.

Sounds like a great read. I have to admit I still have my fingers crossed the title become redundant this year

I have not seen one shred of Evidence that Nicky Buckley supports us. Where did you get this from?

Did anybody read the match review from AFL.com? Who writes this rubbish? You wouldn’t even know there were two teams playing, it’s just Essendon, Essendon, Essendon.

Essendon were fantastic tonight. So tough to penetrate their forward line, but we got it done. Tough win. I hope this makes the club realise that wins aren’t going to just come. We have to work hard for them and we did. If we make the grand final, I hope the game is not like this. My dad’s heart can’t take it

Horrible. Outmarked, outkicked, outmatched. They went through us like we weren’t even there. Too many players holding the ball too long, weren’t doing our handballing game. And to lose to the filth. Just gutted. One thing we can take from this is at least we won’t play Collingwood in the finals. I just hope each loss bring us closer to a win

I’m hoping that win took a lot out of Collingwood and they’ll be unprepared for another tough slog

I think the last one produced was from 2000. We had Demon Attack (1994) and Hotter than hell (1998). It seems the only way they will produce them is if you win the premiership. Luckily there’s a few that have been uploaded on YouTube.

I don’t believe in “curses”, like like I don’t believe in leprechauns.

With the theme of #allfiredup I’m surprised no one has done a video of us to the Pat Benatar song. Anyone one old enough to remember it was used for the 1988 VFL season

Can you block someone here? I have a particular pest who has an issue with me (won’t name names) who I’d love to block

This year no, but look at as. I was even criticised for calling people out on those statements when I joined. Saying you’re Leaving the club because of a loss is emotions? Come on

Yeah but he’s basically giving opposition fans fuel to fire at us. I’ve had fans of opposition sides post this [censored] each time we lose on Facebook. If he wants to be a fool do it on his own time. He’s an embarrassment

So 1959 was our last non-Olympic grand final. The year we won the first premiership cup. That suits me just fine ?

Would be great for the finals

Self deprecation is ever here and so common with demons supporters frankly I’m sick of it. The acceptance of failure and embracing other tema ridiculing is has gone one too long. Now we are the best it’s time to change our attitude. I mean if you want to give up on the club for not winning, fine, do it. Don’t post it do it. If you’re just angry then say it, don’t share your anger issues with everyone if you’re not going to follow through with your words

Along with the “haha we suck. Everyone laugh at us, we’re your punching bag” attitude

It’s the attitude we need to drop. Why would you post that, making yourself look like a fool and basically giving all the opposition clubs the fire they need against us? How many times that fool has been used against me when debating. He’s a disgrace

It’s probably best not to get beat by under a goal. I doubt my dad’s heart could take it. 1988 dad had the TV set up in the garage with his mates coming over. I previously explained how he had no real expectations but went ballistic for that brief moment we led. The rest was awful. I remember the pain was too much for me. Ended up watching the Olympics. 2000 I was an adult. I definitely appreciated it more. I got out all my old supporter gear and decorated my living room. My younger brother came around and we watched it together. I knew we were never going to win, but seeing how we played against them earlier in the season, we could have done a lot better than that. Sad but I promised not to be angry at them and I wasn’t. Unfortunately had to work that night. Came back late and brother was already asleep. Put on the old grand final of the 60’s vhs and watched the brief footage from our 1960 and 1964 triumphs. I though to myself “this is all we have of a demons premiership.” Went to bed really low and upset. Had a date the next afternoon and canceled it. Didn’t feel up to anything. I can only Imagine the other scenario if we’d win. Would probably have ended up with the guy, married with kids instead of being a spinster who lives on their own ?

Don’t they officially publish numbers once it’s closed? Doesn’t it happen in July?

Feel for you. I buy some for my nieces/nephews but they’re grown out of them in a few years ? The younger ones are all hand me downs. One even has the woollen one we got handed down my my older brother. Would give you ours if it wasn’t about to be given to my niece. Maybe try eBay?
